ALKALINE TRIO LYRICS - My Little Needle

"My Little Needle"



i'll come down to get you high. or maybe sing you a lullaby. sing you to sleep, a sleep you'll never wake from. sing you to coma so to speak. and when i fall down, i'll fall apart. trade in my bike for a shopping cart. and beg change from a world that needs some, like i need someone. so where are you my little needle? the stack's been burned away, but i'm so inebriated that i cannot see three feet in front of me. between the moon and you, lunacy is setting in. lately i've been feeling dead inside, like my guts have dried up and died. but every night i water them back to life, yeah every night i water them back to life. and when i fall down, i'll fall apart. trade in my bike for a shopping cart. and beg change from a world that needs some. i'm tired of sleeping alone. so where are you my little needle? the stack's been burned away, but i'm so inebriated that i cannot see three feet in front of me. between the moon and you, lunacy is setting in.

BACKSTREET BOYS LYRICS - Hologram

"Hologram"



[Brian]

I-I-I gotta make-make my way-way-way through all of these people

Gotta pay-pay all of this money just so-so I-I can see you

I’m about to act a dog on you, gonna release a dog on you

I’m about to bon-bon chicka bon-bon-bon-bon

Run it back till I bon-bon-bon, and show ‘em up



[Howie]

And I got technology, x-ray vision; any game I can see through

I get static every time you speak; frequency, gotta be equal

I’m tired of playing, can’t even hear the stuff you saying

Cause it’s like round (round, round, round)

(round, round, round)



[AJ and All]

Hologram

I’m pushing up close but it’s hard to get to ya

Hologram

There’s a glitch in the system, tell me what I gotta do now (oh damn)

Hologram

Illusion, confusion, I’m losing ground

Whoa, hologram

(hey, hologram, hey, hologram, hey)

Whoa, hologram



[Nick]

You want me to flip the switch out so I-I can be your victim

I ain’t gonna slip up, like going outside in the rain with no umbrella

What the hell do you take me for? I’m’a take a different route

I’m about to bon-bon chicka bon-bon-bon-bon

Run it back, do the bon-bon-bon, and show ‘em up



[AJ]

Baby you’re a choo-choo train, baby put that thing on me

You’d rather see my main frame, not the cage, and see another side of me

And she be like T-minus-seven before my system shuts down

And in fact I think I’m ‘bout to shut it down right now



[AJ and All]

Hologram

I’m pushing up close but it’s hard to get to ya

Hologram

There’s a glitch in the system, tell me what I gotta do now (oh damn)

Hologram

Illusion, confusion, I’m losing ground

Whoa, hologram

(hey, hologram, hey, hologram, hey)

Whoa, hologram



[Brian]

I’m tired of playing with you, right now I think your time’s up

Giving mixed signals that I don’t have control of

I’m losing my mind, perfect model before my time

Download to my instant data; give me a sock and I can plug it in



[AJ and All]

Hologram

I’m pushing up close but it’s hard to get to ya

Hologram

There’s a glitch in the system, tell me what I gotta do now (oh damn)

Hologram

Illusion, confusion, I’m losing ground

Whoa, hologram

(hey, hologram, hey, hologram, hey)

Whoa, hologram

THE FRATELLIS LYRICS - Dirty Barry Stole The Bluebird

"Dirty Barry Stole The Bluebird"



He stole it, he stole it

He crossed the wires

And flipped the bastard

He rigged it, he rigged it

His face was ugly

And not so much as a halo oh, yeah-lo

His favourite colour was black because he stole it, he stole it, he stole it, he stole it



And one fine day, now

It was typical

I was wonderful

He was critical

He lived down my street

Owned a Jaguar

No matter where you are

That's a girlies car

All around you

He never seen a word

He's always out of work

He's never seen a word

Got no gyro

He didn't need it though

He stole cars, ya know



Though he had the sneakiness to lie

Such a lazy way to die

Didn't try

Well oh my



And all the girls were weepin when we said

That their bluebird days were dead

Go to bed

Oh instead



He stole it, he stole it

He crossed the wires

And flipped the bastard

He rigged it, he rigged it

His face was ugly

And not so much as a halo oh, yeah-lo

His favourite colour was black because he stole it, he stole it, he stole it, he stole it



And he chased them right down

From the batting cage

So we could catch him up

Smash his pretty face

Bang bang bang bang

With the bluebird and

We were getting tanned

by an armed band

He sped away

Past the studio

The cigarillo

And the fratellio

We got wased

Then we went to bed

Got the train instead



Though he had the cheekiness to lie

Such a lazy way to die

Didn't try

Well oh my

(well oh my)



And all the girls were weepin when we said

That their bluebird days were dead

were dead

oh instead

Oh instead



Oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh

Oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh

Oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh

Oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh



He stole it, he stole it

He crossed the wires

And flipped the bastard

He rigged it, he rigged it

His face was ugly

And not so much as a halo oh, yeah-lo

His favourite colour was black because he stole it, he stole it, he stole it, he stole it



He swiped it, he swiped it

And we don't care because we got us a payroll and banjo

(?) a halo oh yeah-lo

His favourite colour was black because he stole it, he stole it, he stole it, he stole it



Oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh

Oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh

Oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh

Oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh



La la-la, la la-la,

La la-la, Laaaaa

NICK CAVE & THE BAD SEEDS LYRICS - We Call Upon The Author

"We Call Upon The Author"



What we once thought we had we didn't, and what we have now will never be that way again

So we call upon the author to explain



Our myxomatoid kids spraddle the streets, we've shunned them from the greasy-grind

The poor little things, they look so sad and old as they mount us from behind

I ask them to desist and to refrain

And then we call upon the author to explain



Rosary clutched in his hand, he died with tubes up his nose

And a cabal of angels with finger cymbals chanted his name in code

We shook our fists at the punishing rain

And we call upon the author to explain



He said everything is messed up around here, everything is banal and jejune

There is a planetary conspiracy against the likes of you and me in this idiot constituency of the moon

Well, he knew exactly who to blame

And we call upon the author to explain



Prolix! Prolix! Nothing a pair of scissors can't fix!

Prolix! Prolix! Nothing a pair of scissors can't fix!



Well, I go guruing down the street, young people gather round my feet

Ask me things, but I don'r know where to start

They ignite the power-trail ssstraight to my father's heart

And once again I call upon the author to explain



We call upon the author to explain



Who is this great burdensome slavering dog-thing that mediocres my every thought?

I feel like a vacuum cleaner, a complete sucker, it's fucked up and he is a fucker

But what an enormous and encyclopaedic brain

I call upon the author to explain



Oh rampant discrimination, mass poverty, third world debt, infectious diseease

Global inequality and deepening socio-economic divisions

Well, it does in your brain

And we call upon the author to explain



Now hang on, my friend Doug is tapping on the window (Hey Doug, how you been?)

Brings me back a book on holocaust poetry complete with pictures

Then tells me to get ready for the rain

And we call upon the author to explain



I say prolix! Prolix! Something a pair of scissors can fix



Bukowski was a jerk! Berryman was best!

He wrote like wet papier mache, went the Heming-way weirdly on wings and with maximum pain

We call upon the author to explain



Down in my bolthole I see they've published another volume of unreconstructed rubbish

"The waves, the waves were soldiers moving". Well, thank you, thank you, thank you

And again I call upon the author to explain

Yeah, we call upon the author to explain



Prolix! Prolix! There's nothing a pair of scissors can't fix!

KILLING HEIDI LYRICS - Outside Of Me

"Outside Of Me"



Always were out of time, the action makes you smile...

When your hands are by your sides.

Feed the tree that you love, a light

comes from above, then it fades before your eyes.

Do you see it? Do you feel it? Well I mean it...



Your right outside of me didn't seem to care.

Well you had your hold on me - you know it's not fair.



Make it last for the time, keep it with your eyes

Yeah it's you they're thinking of.

Making it last for the while - turns into a style...

When you feed the tree you love.

Do you feel it? Do you see it? Well I mean it..



[Chorus]



You wake up, you take up, you pace round, you're spaced out,

You're taken up with what you see.

One more time - what you see, say it's not fair.



[Chorus]



It's not fair.

On my own, cause I can't take living with you

I'm alone, so I won't turn out like you

Want me to



You thought you were standing beside me

You were only in my way

You're wrong if you think that I'll be just like you



You thought you were there to guide me

You were only in my way

You're wrong if you think that I'll be just like you

You were only in my way

You're wrong if you think that I'll be just like you



I could be mean

I could be angry

You know I could be just like you

MELISSA ETHERIDGE LYRICS - Precious Pain

"Precious Pain"



Everybody's got a hunger

No matter where they are

Everybody clings to their own fear

Everybody hides some scar



Precious pain

Empty and cold but it keeps me alive

I gave it my soul so that I could survive

Keeping me safe in these chains

Precious pain



Everybody's got a reason

To abandon their plan

How can I think of tomorrow

With my sorrow in hand



Precious pain

Empty and cold but it keeps me alive

I gave it my soul so that I could survive

Keeping me safe in these chains

Precious pain



Each road that I walk down

Reminds me of you

This whole town is haunted

There'll never be anything new



Precious pain

Empty and cold but it keeps me alive

I gave it my soul so that I could survive

Keeping me safe in these chains

Precious pain
